How that your a mom...(touchy subject)

Do you find yourself to be more pro-life/pro choice than you used to be? I was always on the fence until I had kids. There are some situations where I understand termination, but I can say now I've become very pro-life. When a friend came to me asking if I knew an abortion clinic a while ago I was appalled. I'm pregnant again so maybe it's my emotions but I just read something else about a termination at 21 weeks.
So my question is, has being a mom changed your views?
How so?

Ideally anyone who doesn't want children would just use birth control (not necessarily just the pill, but condoms or any other form of birth control) and be responsible

The trouble is that birth control fails. I think people using abortion as the first line of birth control is exceedingly rare, because who the hell wants to be getting surgical procedures and paying $700+ for them several times a year?

What if your child is already dead and you need a procedure to remove the fetus from your body? Does that count as abortion?

My child died due to a fatal chromosomal abnormality. I had to have him 'removed' from me at 21 weeks ( he died at 20 weeks) However, my medical records state I had an abortion because I was not given the option to deliver him.

I always said I was pro choice. I tell people I am pro choice. But I do struggle every day in my beliefs. I knew at 16 weeks my child would not survive and trying to make that decision was the toughest of my life. Luckily (or not, I feel) I didn't end up having to make that choice.

I wish I could say I am pro choice in certain circumstances, but I think this is and always will be, an all or nothing issue.

Pro choice. Very. I even worked for Planned Parenthood for many years. Yes, I helped women get abortions and held their hands during them, but I also have probably helped prevent many more abortions than any anti choice person on this board by helping thousands more women access birth control, education, and other preventive health care.

Having kids hasn't affected my views. I'll always be pro-choice because I don't believe in taking rights away from people. I don't believe it's ok to ever tell someone what they can and can't do with their bodies. I don't believe anyone else has a say over any one elses' uterus.

I have always been pro-choice. I personally, even prior to LO could/would never have an abortion. However, at the same time I don't believe it's anyone else place to tell someone what they can or cannot do with their own body. Pro-choice I've been and pro-choice I've stayed :)

I was really pro-choice but now that I am a mom I feel somewhat on the fence about it. I guess I understand both points of view and wouldn't judge someone that couldn't/didn't want to take on parenthood. I just feel like I would personally try everything I could to make it work and if I couldn't I would probably go the adoption route just because I know there are a lot of people out there that would like a chance at raising a baby and can't because of fertility issues ( I have a close friend in this situation).
